Thanks for that (I apologise for not having dug up the info myself). A fairly rapid turn around so not a lot of opportunity for access - and in daylight. I suppose that the next question that occurs to me, if nobody else, is did the flight take on any catering supplies when in Tunis? One assumes there was time for a routine internal cleaning.
Clearly there's a trend amongst those who are able to interpret the available information, which is pretty meagre, to discount malicious action but I don't see how or why it can be discounted completely. Tunisia itself, whilst currently "quiet" is actually in a very precarious state.
